I love US sitcoms as much as the next guy and I've watched some of the most popular ones over the years. But sometimes, you want something fresh, something not mainstream, something that others may not have heard before, or something that has been buried underneath the rubble and left forgotten. One Redditor asked the r/sitcoms subreddit about some obscure sitcoms that they could recommend, and the sitcom fans obliged with over a thousand comments on the thread. Cracked lists the top five most upvoted suggestions.
One of the top suggestions was Police Squad! which featured Leslie Nielsen, whom you might know from the movie Airplane! and later on, the Naked Gun film series which was based on Police Squad. The show was cancelled after six episodes because ABC thought that the visual gags would be more effective on a larger screen size, and that's why the latter film series based on Police Squad's premise was successful. To see the other four sitcoms, check it out on Cracked.
